Chapter 41 Maintaining That Scar

"Gaspard..." Gwyneth hit the play button, and within the first second of the footage, she caught sight of her father, Gaspard Glen.Wesley stood silently by her side, his expression marked by a sense of solemnity.A tinge of red flickered in Gwyneth's eyes, and her hand, resting on the table, gradually clenched into a fist as she mustered the patience to keep watching. Only when the video came to an end did she release a deep sigh.The surveillance camera had been strategically positioned at the entrance of Glen Corporation. In addition to the regular influx of employees, primarily from the marketing department, the video revealed an alarming trend—Gaspard appeared as the most frequent visitor.The fact that Gaspard's visits exceeded even that of employees responsible for market operations was deeply unsettling. Despite his former CEO status at Glen Corporation, Gaspard still retained his position as a shareholder. In conventional companies, shareholders rarely made personal appear

Chapter 42 Scars Would Gradually Fade

Elizabeth's voice quivered as she spoke, her words choked with emotion, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. She was truly terrified in that moment, so much so that after uttering those words, she instinctively took two steps back.Liam hadn't expected such a strong reaction from Elizabeth. The intensity of her response only confirmed the inner turmoil she was experiencing. When people became anxious, their voices often rose involuntarily, a subconscious attempt to convince others.Liam's eyebrows furrowed unconsciously as he recalled Gwyneth's previous explanation about the distinction between burn and scald scars. Taking a stride forward with his long legs, he parted his thin lips slightly and spoke in a calm tone. "Lately, I've been looking into burn scars and I've discovered that they can actually be completely eliminated."Liam's tone, though devoid of emotion, sent shivers down Elizabeth's spine. His words abruptly halted her feigned tears. She lifted her head, gazi

Chapter 43 Different Sense of Time

Gwyneth stared at the hideous scar in the mirror, lost in thought. It had been ages since she had taken a close look at it. The scar ran horizontally across her abdomen, starting from the front and stretching toward her side, even reaching further toward her back.Gwyneth pursed her lips and delicately traced her fingertips along the scar. It no longer elicited any pain, but the fact that she had been young when her skin was burned meant that the nerves beneath the scar had suffered damage. As a result, whenever her scar was touched, she would experience a peculiar sensation—a constant reminder that her nerves had not yet fully recovered.Gwyneth vividly remembered the moments of her treatment back then, when she was in a semi-conscious state, hearing the elderly doctor with graying hair speak slowly. 'It will likely take many years for the texture of her skin and the nerves inside to fully heal,' he had said.Just a little over a decade had passed since then, so it made sense that

Chapter 44 Entrusting the Company to Capable Hands

Gwyneth's statement left all the shareholders of Glen Corporation stunned. They suddenly realized that the young lady before them was completely different from their previous impression. Their gazes then turned toward Gaspard, who was sitting on the side. The expression on his face was more than just displeasure—it was downright unpleasant."Due to an urgent matter within the company, I allowed this shareholder meeting to take place today. I won't go into further detail about who called for the meeting," Gwyneth stated, her smile gradually fading. Her gaze swept across the faces of the shareholders, leaving a palpable tension in the room.She went on, "However, I want to remind everyone that I am the current CEO of Glen Corporation, and as such, I possess the exclusive authority to convene a shareholder meeting." Gwyneth concluded her statement, locking her eyes onto Elliott's face. When she noticed Elliott meekly lowering his head, a smile reappeared on her lips.Seeing this, Wesle

Chapter 45 Purge

Liam listened to his assistant's words and couldn't help but think about the situation Gwyneth was currently facing. His hand tightened instinctively into a fist. "Have the tech department uncover the financial patterns of Glen Corporation," he instructed.The assistant's heart skipped a beat when he heard Liam. He quickly hurried off to handle the matter.Meanwhile, the shareholders' meeting at Glen Corporation continued. One shareholder spoke up, "Ms. Glen, as harsh as it may sound, the truth remains that Glen Corporation's stocks are plummeting, and you cannot escape responsibility for it."A second shareholder joined in, "Let's face it, being a CEO requires expertise. Someone as young as you is simply not up to the task.""Gwyneth, it's in your best interest to step down before this situation escalates any further. It's wise to have an exit strategy."As those shareholders expressed their opinions, Gwyneth maintained her composure, twirling the pen in her hand. A subtle smile

Chapter 46 Let's Be Friends

Gwyneth took a step forward, placing her purse on the couch before settling herself comfortably across from Liam. She exuded a natural poise that required no conscious effort to enhance. Her graceful and composed demeanor immediately captured Liam's attention.As Liam glanced at the person before him, a light chuckle escaped his lips. "Honey, if I had some insiders at Glen Corporation, you wouldn't be sitting here so composedly, would you?"Gwyneth smirked at the term "Honey" but didn't retort. Instead, she took out her phone and spread the documents she had just received in front of Liam.Liam said, "Are you trying to say thank you? A dinner would do." Throughout the conversation, his gaze never wavered from Gwyneth's face. Little did he expect that she would simply ignore his words."What else did you find?" Gwyneth asked, her voice carrying a hint of resignation.Gwyneth knew that Gaspard had clearly meddled in some internal affairs of Glen Corporation. However, there were cert

Chapter 47 Messy Kitchen

"Sure, let's be friends," Gwyneth responded to Liam. She had no intention of pursuing a romantic relationship with him, but if they could be friends, it might not be so bad. With that thought in mind, she looked up at Liam and found him less annoying than before.Gwyneth's unequivocal agreement seemed to relax Liam, as if he had let out a sigh of relief. He exhaled deeply and suggested, "Well, it's getting late, let's go back."Of course, Gwyneth knew exactly what Liam meant by "go back." She had just agreed to stay with him in the Luther residence for a few more months, so she didn't want to cause a scene. That is, if Elizabeth wasn't in the picture.During the ride, they engaged in casual conversation, mainly discussing the issues surrounding Glen Corporation. Larry was driving and occasionally glanced at them through the rearview mirror, noticing the harmonious atmosphere between the two.Upon their return to the Luther residence, Liam belatedly realized that there was no one av

Chapter 48 Assessing the Potential Household Staff

After removing some fish bones, a sudden thought struck Gwyneth like a lightning bolt. 'How much longer can I really stay in this house? I don't think I should make this kind of commitment.'Initially, Gwyneth had intended to offer Liam some advice, but as these thoughts flooded her mind, her words became lodged in her throat. A fleeting sense of detachment flickered within her, but it passed so quickly that she didn't dwell on what that feeling was. Perhaps it was nothing more than a habitual response.Despite the turmoil brewing within her, Gwyneth managed to maintain a composed expression, convinced that Liam wouldn't detect any hint of her emotional state. Unbeknownst to her, however, Liam's cutlery continued their rhythmic dance, while his gaze remained steadfastly fixed on her. Maybe it was the unmistakable display of emotions on Gwyneth's face that momentarily unsettled Liam, leaving him unable to utter another word.The following day, Liam insisted on driving Gwyneth to work

Chapter 49 It's Time to Discuss My Reward

Gwyneth turned to Liam. "Mr. Luther," she said, "if you find yourself with no pressing matters, perhaps it would be best for you to retire to your room for some well-deserved rest." Deep down, she knew that her concentration would be far sharper without Liam's presence hovering around.To her surprise, Liam met her gaze head-on, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. He smiled unabashedly at her in front of these candidates.His reaction left Gwyneth stunned and the candidates looking foolish.Among the candidates, several of them were young, their wide-eyed infatuation for Liam's undeniable charms all too apparent. They couldn't help but gape at him, their jaws nearly hitting the floor in awe."Wh-What do you mean?" Her voice quivered with confusion, her thoughts tangled in a web of uncertainty."Honey," Liam replied, "if you're here, helping me manage this household, how could I possibly retreat to my room and rest? My place is by your side."If Gwyneth didn't know what kind of per

Liam didn't confirm with Gwyneth or inquire further before decisively agreeing to help her. It caught Gwyneth off guard, as she hadn't anticipated such a swift response. Although she referred to it as her "reward," deep down, she knew it was merely an excuse or a pretense.Having been together for three years and being the CEO of AMC herself, Gwyneth couldn't be oblivious to Liam's powerful and efficient approach to business matters.

And as for Liam, his enigmatic aura alone could leave anyone gasping for air.Gwyneth never expected that Liam, with all his intensity, would agree to her so effortlessly.Though doubts lingered in her heart, she found herself unable to articulate them.
